BUCK BELUE: Looking forward to Aaron Murray's record-smashing season

Quarterback Aaron Murray is about to blow up the Georgia record book. Just destroy what Eric Zeier and David Greene were able to do on the stat sheet. Check this out.

Go ahead and book it: Murray will enjoy another 3,000-yard passing season. That would be four of those in a row. Add it all up, and he’s leaving UGA with more than 13,000 yards passing. That’s about 2,000 more than Greene and Zeier each had.

Another 30-touchdown season would just obliterate what Z-man and DG accomplished. Murray would exit with 125 career TD tosses, almost doubling up EZ’s number (67) and making Greene’s number (72) appear small. We’re talking about 50 more touchdowns than Greene or Zeier. Now that’s amazing.

Got to see Georgia’s Pro day recently, and Murray was there checking things out. He got to see Jon Richt throwing it around to Tavarres King in front of the NFL scouts. Thought for sure Murray was going to be in that spot back in January, before announcing that he was coming back for his senior season.

He wanted one more shot at a title. Got to respect that. All these record-breaking numbers are impressive, but a championship is what he’s after.

So, how do they get there? Well, defensive coordinator Todd Grantham has a lot of coaching up to do on defense. Got to find some players fast. First up this season is a dangerous Clemson offense. Good luck with that.

Murray and the Bulldogs’ offense need to lead the way. Score some points. Put up some big numbers. Can they do that?

To be dangerous, you need more than one weapon. Murray has his go-to-guy in Malcolm Mitchell. So, he needs to develop more chemistry and confidence in Chris Conley and Justin Scott-Wesley. Both had big moments in the bowl game against Nebraska. Michael Bennett’s back. Maybe JC transfer Jonathan Rumph turns out to be a player.

It’s also time to get talented tight end Jay Rome involved. That would boost this offense. He’s a big target and a mismatch.

As far as Murray’s individual goals go, three things come to mind:

• Fewer than 10 interceptions this season.

• No three-interception games.

• No pick-six interceptions or “scoop and score” fumbles in the pocket.

How does he get there? Get more consistent with his decision-making. Refuse to force balls in to tight spots. Take what the coverage gives you. And do it consistently. This should be a top priority as he looks to improve.

Aaron Murray is going to own the Georgia record book when this season ends. But will he get that elusive championship?
